A subject of the invention is a composition for dyeing keratin fibres, comprising at least one 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene derivative and at least one basifying agent other than aqueous ammonia; the use of the composition for hair dyeing and also the use of the composition in a dyeing process.
It is known practice to obtain “permanent” colourings with dyeing compositions containing oxidation dye precursors, generally known as oxidation bases, such as ortho- or para-phenylenediamines, ortho- or para-aminophenols and heterocyclic compounds. These oxidation bases are colourless or weakly coloured compounds which, in combination with oxidizing products, can give rise, by means of an oxidative condensation process, to coloured compounds. It is also known that it is possible to vary the shades obtained by combining these oxidation bases with couplers or colouring modifiers, the latter being chosen in particular from aromatic meta-diamines, meta-aminophenols, meta-diphenols and certain heterocyclic compounds, such as indole compounds. This oxidation dyeing process consists in applying, to the keratin fibres, bases or a mixture of bases and of couplers with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2 or aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution) as oxidizing agent, in allowing to diffuse and then in rinsing the fibres. The colourings which result therefrom are permanent, powerful and resistant to external agents, in particular to light, bad weather, washing, perspiration and rubbing actions.
The oxidation bases and the oxidation couplers make it possible to obtain a rich range of colours, but they generally require the presence i) of an aromatic amine, ii) of hydrogen peroxide as oxidizing agent, or iii) of aqueous ammonia, thus leading to unpleasant aspects associated with the odour of the aqueous ammonia and fibre damage associated with the presence of hydrogen peroxide.
In addition, drawbacks such as staining and problems of discomfort can be encountered with oxidation dyeing.
1,8-Dihydroxynaphthalene derivatives optionally substituted with chlorine or bromine atoms have been used in oxidation dyeing of the hair (WO 94/18937). However, the processes described require in particular the use of aqueous ammonia in large amounts, which has the effect of generating a very unpleasant odour. In addition, when the 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene derivatives are applied in the absence of aqueous ammonia, the dyeing can become less resistant to shampooings. It is also, in general, very difficult to succeed in bringing out the oxidation precursors in the absence of aqueous ammonia, such that the colourings obtained are much duller and less powerful.
There is therefore a real need to perform dyeing using 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene that may be of natural origin, under milder conditions, with reduced keratin fibre damage or even no fibre damage, while at the same time providing colourings which withstand external agents (light, bad weather, shampooing), and which are persistent, homogeneous, powerful and chromatic, if possible with no unpleasant odour, or a very reduced one, linked to the treatment of the hair.
This aim is achieved by the present invention, the subject of which is a process for dyeing keratin fibres, in particular the hair, by treating said fibres with:
i) one or more 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene derivative(s) of formula (I):
its of inorganic or organic acids or bases, its optical isomers, geometric isomers, its tautomers, and/or its solvates such as the hydrates; in which formula (I):
R1 and R6 represent, independently of one another:
a C1-C4 alkyl radical which can be functionalized with one or more hydroxyl or (C1-C4)alkoxycarbonyl radicals,
-
- a carboxylic radical —CO2H,
- a (C1-C4)alkoxycarbonyl radical,
- a (C1-C4)alkylcarbonyl radical which can be functionalized with a (C1-C4)alkylcarbonyl radical or a (C1-C4)alkoxycarbonyl radical,
- a C1-C4 alkoxy radical,
- a carboxaldehyde radical —CHO,
- a sulphonic radical —SO3H;
R2 and R5 represent, independently of one another:
-
- a hydrogen atom,
- a hydroxyl radical,
- a C1-C4 alkyl radical which can be functionalized with one or more hydroxyl or (C1-C4)alkoxycarbonyl radicals,
- a carboxylic radical —CO2H,
- a (C1-C4)alkoxycarbonyl radical,
- a (C1-C4)alkylcarbonyl radical which can be functionalized with a hydroxyl radical,
- a C1-C4 alkoxy radical,
- a carboxaldehyde radical —CHO,
- a sulphonic radical —SO3H;
- R3 and R4 represent, independently of one another:
- a hydrogen atom,
- a hydroxyl radical,
- a C1-C4 alkyl radical which can be functionalized with one or more hydroxyl or (C1-C4)alkoxycarbonyl radicals,
- a carboxylic radical —CO2H,
- a (C1-C4)alkoxycarbonyl radical,
- a (C1-C4)alkylcarbonyl radical which can be functionalized with a (C1-C4)alkylcarbonyl radical or a (C1-C4)alkoxycarbonyl radical;
R1 and R2 can form, together with the carbon atoms to which they are attached, a heterocycle optionally substituted with an oxo group, such as pyrone, particularly 4-pyrone, which can be functionalized with one or two C1-C4 alkyl radical(s):
with R and R′, which may be identical or different, representing a hydrogen atom or a C
1-C
4 alkyl radical; preferably, R and R′ represent a hydrogen atom or R′ represents a hydrogen atom and R represents a C
1-C
4 alkyl radical; and
ii) one or more basifying agent(s) other than aqueous ammonia;
it being understood that:
-
- the 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene derivative(s) of formula (I) and the basifying agent(s) can be applied simultaneously or successively to the keratin fibres, and
- the dyeing process does not involve aqueous ammonia.
Another subject of the invention relates to the use of compounds of formula (I) as defined above, for dyeing keratin fibres, in particular human keratin fibres such as the hair.
Another subject of the invention relates to a cosmetic composition which contains:
i) one or more 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene derivatives of formula (I) as described above; and
ii) one or more basifying agent(s) other than aqueous ammonia; with the proviso that 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene derivative(s) of formula (I) cannot represent:
Another subject of the invention relates to a device comprising from 2 to 5 compartments containing from 2 to 5 compositions, in which the following ingredients are distributed:
-
- i) one or more 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene derivative(s) of formula (I) as defined above,
- ii) one or more basifying agent(s) other than aqueous ammonia, and
- iii) optionally, one or more chemical oxidizing agent(s) and/or iv) one or more oxidation catalysts, and
- v) optionally, one or more mordant(s).
The composition according to the invention makes it possible to dye the keratin fibres under mild conditions, while covering a broad colour range.
In addition, the composition according to the invention has the advantage of dyeing human keratin fibres with resulting colourings which are powerful, chromatic and resistant to washing, perspiration, sebum and light, without impairing said fibres. The colourings obtained using the process also give colours which are homogeneous from the root to the end of a fibre (a low colouring selectivity). There is no unpleasant odour associated with the dyeing process according to the invention to be deplored, as can occur with the use of a basifying agent such as aqueous ammonia.

- preferably alkylene radical represents (A) with more particularly R′ and R″ representing an hydrogen atom.
- The alkoxy radicals are alkyloxy radicals, with alkyl as defined above, preferably C1-C4, such as methoxy, ethoxy, propoxy and butoxy.
The heterocycle optionally substituted with an oxo group is a heterocycle fused to the 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene nucleus via the R1 and R2 radicals; said heterocycle comprising from 5 to 7 ring members, from one to three heteroatoms chosen from oxygen, sulphur or nitrogen atoms, and which may also comprise an oxo or carbonyl group, and an unsaturation preferably conjugated with the oxo group.
-
- The term “mild conditions” is intended to mean without the simultaneous use, in the process or in the composition according to the invention, of a chemical oxidizing agent other than air, of a high amount of basifying agent having an unpleasant odour and of the presence of an oxidation base and of couplers of aromatic amine type.

According to another preferred embodiment of the dyeing process, the composition containing the ingredient i), i.e. the 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene derivative(s) of formula (I) as defined above, also contains an oxidation catalyst. By way of example, this catalyst can be manganese gluconate or zinc gluconate.
The leave-in time for the oxidation to be carried out in the air is between 3 and 120 minutes. Preferably, after application of the composition containing the 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene derivatives of formula (I), the composition is left to act for 10 to 60 minutes.
The application can be carried out in one or more steps, under oxidizing and basic conditions.
According to another embodiment, the dyeing process according to the invention is carried out dihydroxyindole and/or dihydroxyindoline derivatives especially 5,6-dihydroxyindole and/or 5,6-dihydroxyindoline.
According to yet another embodiment, the dyeing process according to the invention is carried out neither dihydroxyindole nor dihydroxyindoline derivatives especially neither 5,6-dihydroxyindole nor 5,6-dihydroxyindoline.
According to another particular embodiment of the dyeing process, the composition containing the ingredient i), i.e. the 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene derivative(s) of formula (I), also contains one or more mordant(s) conventionally used. This treatment is particularly carried out before the application of the composition according to the invention comprising the 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene derivative(s) of formula (I) as defined above, or after the dyeing process. By way of example, the mordant may be iron sulphate.
A particular variant of the invention consists of a dyeing process in which the keratin fibres are treated with the ingredient i) one or more 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene derivative(s) of formula (I) as defined above; the ingredient ii) one or more basifying agent(s) other than aqueous ammonia; optionally, the ingredient iii) one or more oxidizing agents; optionally the ingredient iv) one or more oxidation catalyst(s); and, optionally, the ingredient v) one or more mordants, in different steps.
The leave-in time after application of the composition according to the invention comprising the 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene derivative(s) of formula (I) as defined above, and between each step of treatment with the basifying agent(s), with, optionally, the oxidation catalyst(s) and with, optionally, the mordant(s), is set at between 3 and 120 minutes, preferably between 10 and 60 minutes, and more particularly between 15 and 45 minutes.
Whatever the method of application, the application temperature is generally between ambient temperature and 80° C., and more particularly between 15° C. and 45° C. Thus, it is advantageously possible, after application of the composition(s) comprising the ingredients i) to v) as defined above, to subject the head of hair to a heat treatment by heating at a temperature of between 30 and 60° C. In practice, this operation can be carried out by means of a hairdressing hood, a hairdryer, an infrared ray dispenser and other conventional heating devices.
It is possible to use, both as means for heating and means for smoothing out the head of hair, a heating iron at a temperature of between 60 and 220° C., preferably between 120 and 200° C.
One particular embodiment of the invention relates to a dyeing process which is carried out at ambient temperature (25° C.).
After application of the ingredients i) to v) as defined above, to the keratin fibres, said locks are preferably rinsed with water, washed with conventional shampoo and dried by means such as have been described above.
According to a particular dyeing process of the invention, the composition comprising the ingredients i) to ii) is applied to the keratin fibres, particularly the hair, in one step, and is then left in for between 15 and 60 minutes, preferably 30 minutes, and then said fibres are rinsed with water, washed with conventional shampoo and dried.
In all the particular embodiments and variants of the processes described above, the compositions mentioned are ready-to-use compositions which can result from the extemporaneous mixing of two or more compositions, and in particular of compositions present in dyeing kits.
iv) Dyeing device or “kit”:
Another subject of the invention is a multicompartment dyeing device or dyeing “kit”. Advantageously, this device comprises from 2 to 5 compartments containing from 2 to 5 compositions, in which the following ingredients are distributed:
-
- i) one or more 1,8-dihydroxynaphthalene derivative(s) of formula (I) as defined above,
- ii) one or more basifying agent(s) as defined above,
- iii) optionally, one or more chemical oxidizing agent(s) and/or iv) one or more oxidation catalyst(s), and
- v) optionally, one or more mordant(s).
The compositions of the device according to the invention are packaged in distinct compartments, optionally accompanied by suitable application means, which may be identical or different, such as paint brushes, brushes or sponges.
The device mentioned above can also be equipped with a means for delivering the desired mixture onto the hair, for example such as the devices described in patent FR 2 586 913.
